The Mission

1) Break down music barriers (Genre? What is a genre?).

2) Help bands/artists get their music heard.

3) Bring bands/artists and their fans closer together.

4) Entertain the willing.

Now, why in the sam hell would anyone put the word goat in the title?

It’s simple!

Other than the fact that finding a decent domain name with the word music in it is as impossible as finding music on MTV, I have an angle. Let me explain; it is a known fact that goats eat pretty much anything, right? Well, in a cheesy ass way, when it comes to music (in particular) and a wide array of other topics, I will listen to, think about, discuss and consider pretty much anything. All of which will make for an interesting experience for you and me.

I just wanted to create a source where I could use my enormous passion for music…

…and my online marketing know-how to help both you the fan and/or you the artist by passing on any information I come across that will make your life more enjoyable as a fan and more profitable as an artist.

To be more specific, I will be doing reviews of both the live shows that I attend and any music that I hear that kicks ass in any way. Also, along with periodic rants and humorous observations, I will pass on interesting music news and information. Also, for musicians I will share any information that I come across that will help you or your band promote your music.

Some of the music styles I will be sharing and commenting on will be….

…mainly – but not exclusively – guitar driven and fall within the realm of the following styles: metal, blues, country, hip hop, rap, rock, funk, acoustic, alternative, R & B, Soul, all generations of Pop, singer-songwriter, bluegrass, swing, and all variations in between (I didn’t call this the Musicgoat for nothing).

“…They teach you there’s a boundary line to music. But, man, there’s no boundary line to art.” – Charlie “YardBird” Parker

Old, new, Indie or mainstream it doesn’t matter, if it is good I will talk about it. I will touch on some more than others but it is pretty wide open.

To give you the maximum Musicgoat effect, I also have a podcast.

I call it the Melting Pot. Visit the Melting Pot podcast page for more on that.

Finally, just so you know, I am not the most regular blogger or podcaster on the web because I am an aspiring acoustic artist myself and have a work fulltime job, three young kids and wife that need the majority of my attention.

There you have it, subscribe now and return often.
